DUEL TO THE DEATH BETWEEN TIE TERROR OF rHx
RANGE AND CON RYAN.


RANGE AND CON RYAN.
Judge John NJ. Wright has just given the silver
City N. M.l Enterprise the particulars OF a ouel
between Con Ryan and one Burke, who delighted
in the sobriquet OF 1.-THE Terror OF the Black
Range" They were both well known mining u,en.
They had been quarreling all night, and about o
o'clock in the morning Burke said: LET US iiib, IL
out like men; get your gun" Ryan said he didn't
have gum Burke answered that he would fur
nish him one, and the TWO men went together TO
Burke's house, at the head OF the main street
Burke procured two AS, and stepping up 10 the
fence, threw one OF them down on the ground, re-
marking, 'Theres your gun
THAT'S no way 10 do" said Ryan: eyou can
shoot me while am picking up the gun. Besides
I don't know that it's loaded
Burke then threw his gun down on the ground.
and the two men picked up the guns together
While Ryan was examining his gun 10 see IL IL was
loaded, Burke rred at him twice gwithout effect
Ryan then leveled his gun and quickly tool; a
deliberate aim and fired, when the "Terror or the
Black Range" fell dead. The ball struck little TO
the left OF the bridge o. the nose and passed out
through the back Of the head. Ryan was placed
under LOCO bonds. IL seems TO be the general
opinion at Kingston that Burke received his lust
deserts.
